letter #1

Dear Chan,

How are you doing?
I understand that it's like, what, a week away before you reply, but I can't wait!

Ten years, only ten responses from you, and at least a hundred thousand from me.

Not that I'm saying it's your fault, but it would really help if you responded a little more!

If it's a family problem, I can understand. If it's something you aren't comfortable with talking about, I can understand too. You're one of my closest friends! Don't hesitate to call me! You already know my number anyways, along with my friends' just in case I can't be reached.

Anyways, a few days ago, I met a really nice boy that lived near us (next to us, actually) and he actually came from China! He moved to Korea because of some family problems; his name is Liu Mengyao. He would rather be called by his Korean name, Leu/Lu Mingyu. Now I have two Mingyu's to deal with!

But since I met him and introduced him to Minghao/Myungho and Jun, they've been chatting rapidly in Mandarin around us and they look so happy, and Jun looks just as happy when Mingming was still here! Still sad he moved though . . .

Lu Mingyu wants us to call him Louie/Louis/Lui though, it's easier than calling both Mingyu's "Mingyu". P.S., if you wanna know what he looks like, it's gonna be hard! He hates pictures!

Louie got along with Jeonghan really well because of their femininity and long hair, and it was honestly really cute. Louie has quite long hair, but it really looks good on him! Just like Jeonghan! He has a very feminine face too, but likes to rap and has sharp teeth. I got bit by him while he was cranky and I almost bled. ㅠㅠ

He looks so in love with Wonwoo, though. Whenever he sees Wonwoo, he blushes, and looks at him as if he's lovesick. I feel sorry for him though. Mingyu and Wonwoo are dating.

Anyways, me and Seungkwan have something to do! Hope this reaches you soon!

With love,
Kwon Soonyoung

Soonyoung finished off the letter, writing the postal code for Chan's home on the envelope before sealing it with the letter inside, putting it in his bag.

He checked himself out in the mirror before taking his bag, running out of his room, not before announcing loudly that he'll be out with Seungkwan, tying his shoelaces and happily running along the sidewalk to his friend's house, not without stopping by a certain postal office he had become fond of.

"Another letter?" Louie laughed, putting his chin on his palm as he looked at Soonyoung in amusement. "Damn, how close are you with this Chan guy?"

"Pretty close, I'd say," Soonyoung shrugged, handing the letter from his bag to the long-haired Chinese boy. "He opened up to me in the few letters he's sent."

"How few? And how long have you guys been messaging each other?" Louie asked, weighing the paper before grabbing one of Soonyoung's favorite postage stamps from a small box labeled "Soonyoung's Stamps".

"He's only given me ten responses so far," Soonyoung said, a hint of sadness in his tone. "One per year, and he gives me responses every May 26!"

"It's a week later, right?" Louie asked and Soonyoung hummed in agreement. "Has he ever told you why he doesn't reply as often as you do?"

"He always avoids the question," Soonyoung pouted. "But if it's too personal, I can understand."

Louie smiled and placed the letter in a tray labeled "Iksan", then got back to the counter where Soonyoung was smiling as if he was sick in love. Louie put his chin on the back of his hands and smiled at the younger. "Whoever is gonna have you as their husband in the future must be the luckiest person alive to have such a love-struck puppy as their partner in life."

"Hyung, don't say that~" Soonyoung blushed and Louie laughed once more, patting his head.
